Does anyone have any pictures of a NACL size 50 on a TI rod? I’m wondering what the proportions will be like if I switch out my 400B.

It's going to feel strange IMO the reel feels small on that rod.....Seems like once you're used to the wider round reels its tough to get a smaller low profile reel I tried it once and sold the smaller reel to make the combo feel better. The 60 series wider reels feel better for sure..................Picture a bass reel on a Big Nasty just not a good combo

I actually really like the way they feel and handle together. I still go for the 60 size though, just to have more line... When you make a full cast with the 50, half the line comes off the spool (I run 100lb on everything).

I have a 50 size nacl on an 8'6 mh ti rod and I like they way it feels. Fits my hand nice and is really comfortable for me and is a nice light easy to handle combo.

I use curado 300s on a big nasty and big dawg and the set ups work great for me. Small reels on big bait rods so should be comparable.

i will add that the curado 300 is probably the most comfortable musky reel on the market.

It's not a NaCl, but the Revo dimensions are very close... The reel is mounted on a TI 9' 2pc. rod, and the combo feels great. For perspective I wear a medium glove.

Hope this helps.
